About the Artist
Having been an avid animal lover and keen equestrian all my life, I have been greatly inspired to paint from
a young age, and largely self taught I began accepting commissions in 1996 to paint pet portraits.
Based on the south coast of England, I live with my partner Nial and our three lively dogs Meg,
Pip and Lily.
Throughout my life, I have been greatly inspired by Eventing, Show Jumping and Dressage, my work
has now expanded to include original equestrian art,
sold as both prints and originals, encompassing
the ever popular world of equestrian sport.
'Contemporary or Timeless, Classic Style'
Working in either watercolour or oil on canvas, both my portraits and original
pieces are produced with the greatest attention to detail, capturing the character
and core essence of the subject. The diversity of watercolour and oil also enables
me to produce paintings in either a contemporary or timeless, classic style.
Having qualified in photography in 1998 I have also found this skill ever useful as painting from life is rarely possible with many of my commissions being
undertaken from all over the country and sometimes even abroad.
Hopefully a browse through the site will answer any questions you may have,
but please feel free to contact me with any queries, no matter how small.
Captured on Canvas has featured in the UK's most popular
Canine & Equestrian magazines, including Horse & Rider,
Your Dog, Pony Magazine and Dogs Monthly.
